I have people telling me to cut down to a lower bf%, and people telling me to build some muscle first. I'm not sure what to do. I just started and have only been lifting for one month now.

About 16-17%. I would start off at maintenance. As a new lifter, you should be able to recomp for a few months. From there, I'd bulk.

Hi everyone — would love to get your estimate. Stats: 24, male, 6ft 0in, 164lbs. Pictures attached. Also interested in opinions about bulking vs. cutting at this stage.

Do you think I need to cut more ? I went down from 216lbs to 141lbs over 20 months. I am actually in maintenance now, will start a lean bulk and then do a few cycles to try and shift the soft belly fat below the belly button and hopefully the skin will tighten up over time.

I'm 5,7feet and 159lbs. Any idea on my current body fat %?

i've been cutting for nearly 2months lost around 10-11lbs. Should i continue to get leaner or?
Also, any recomendations on which bodyparts are falling behind,

13-14% Depends on your end goal. You could do either. I'd do more upper chest and traps. How are your legs doing?

Thank you! Legs are quite solid. I'm thinking to go a bit leaner, wanna see my abbs for a change.
You reckon i have to go to around 140lbs for better seperations?

Should see better separation around 150. You may, though, need to build more ab muscle to get the look you want.

Slow cut until 15%? I’m 175 lbs right now. Get down to 165?

Looking for an estimate. Started a strength routine two and a half months ago, but have been doing so in a deficit. Not entirely sure how much further I need to go before I can be back in a surplus and bulk (lifts are getting heavy). Started at 208-lbs, and am current 185-lbs. Height is 6'.

Ideally I want to get to 10-12%, then bulk to 15%. Rinse and repeat.

Thanks in advance! I can do the math but I cannot do the body fat estimate.

Pictures are in my Bodyspace, under progress photos.

I am 28 years old. Not sure why it says I am 48.

Yesterday I got my fat checked by one of those Tanita machines. It read 19% (2 years ago it showed I had more muscle mass than I have now, which is really not the case, as my lifts have gone up a lot as well.) However, I heard those things are notoriously inaccurate. My pics are in my bodyspace. What do you think my body fat is? Height is 1.77 cm (about 5 10) and weight is 80 kilos (about 176 lbs). Also, what body fat percentage do you recommend me to go down to? Thanks a lot in advance. This thread is awesome.

[QUOTE=Piranha89;1554463851]Slow cut until 15%? I’m 175 lbs right now. Get down to 165?[/QUOTE]

Going off 20% bf, your lbm would be approximately 146-lbs.

146*1.15 = 168

I would say 165 is a good number to go with. Not sure what your goals are but if 15% is your goal, then that should do it.

Can you please estimate my body fat.

Height: 175 cm
Weight: 68 kg in the morning

Along with just looking decent with a shirt off, I mainly want to be low enough to where I can start a clean bulk where I have some room to work with. I know I'll gain a little fat while bulking, just don't want to look fat at the end of the bulk.

Anyway someone could check out my bodyspace and use current updated picture? I can't upload yet due to not enough posts.

[QUOTE=dj924s;1554503821]16-17%[/QUOTE] Thanks. This makes a lot more sense. The pics are about 2 - 3 weeks old and I've lost 1 kilogram since then as well. Now the navy calculator and calipers (Durnin method, I heard it is very accurate) put me at 15%.

Probably not the correct thread but:

I've been doing a 'mock' contest prep. I know my deadline but I wanted to see what you guys thought about how many weeks away I am, plus an estimate on BF percentage. Pics are 'cold', no pump. I'm 85.9kg and 5ft 9in.

Hey. 5 ft 9in 158 pounds. I was wondering if i could please get a Body fat estimate. Pictures are in my body space. Just started lifting a little over a month ago but i have been on a slow cut. Wanted to cut until i got more definition, abs and then bulk. Do i have enough mass or should i clean bulk?

[/QUOTE]

My guess would be 11% and about 6 weeks out. The best thread to ask would probably be the contest prep thread, but it's not very active these days. If you use reddit, you could also try r/bodybuilding.

About 15% IMO, you'll need more muscle to have good definition.

Hi guys wondering what BF% i am at, i was skinny fat at 172lbs, i started to lose weight in January (i have been lifting) i am now at 149lbs, i was aiming to stop at 150lbs and then going on a long lean bulk. But i am thinking it may be better to go to 140lbs to get to around 12% bf.

Looks a bit lower than 13% I'd guess 11-12. What's your end goal? You're lean enough to start bulking if you want more mass.

[QUOTE=Partyrocking;1554670931]15-16%[/QUOTE]

Thanks. I have a holiday in 3 weeks, what would be a realistic reduction in bf by weights x5 a week and HIITx2(or 3)

Cutting out all sugar as well.

How much weight are you currently losing per week? You would need to lose 1kg (assuming no muscle loss) per % of bf

16% bf at 90kg gives you 75.6kg of LBM, to get to 15% its 75.6/ 0.85 puts you at 88.94kg.

Anyone, my bf?

Hey everyone, I just began a bulk after reverse dieting for a couple of months to try and reverse the effects of metabolic damage sustained over the years pretty much starving myself. This is my first ever time bulking, and I'm really enjoying being able to eat at a higher volume without feeling a sense of guilt (something I've always strugled with).

I'm 5'10" tall and at about 164lbs. I hold most of my fat around my stomach, hips and pecs. I'm now eating at 3000 calories/day.

Any idea what my bodyfat % might be? [B]Also, from your experience, should I continue bulking or should I cut[/B]?

15-16%. I'd keep bulking, but keep the weight gain slow. Aim for 2lbs/month.

Hey guys. In a couple weeks I got my waist down from 32 to 31 and wanted to see if you guys think my body fat percentage changed. I'm 17, 6'2", 31 inch waist, about 37 inch hips, 35 inch chest, and was originally estimated to be 18%. New pictures are in body space.

Also, while we're at it, which workout would you recommend for me from bodybuilding.com? I've been making my own but I'm almost certain I won't build muscle with whatever I'm doing.

Hey guys! It’s been a couple weeks since I started cutting. I’m at 140 lbs right now, down 4 lbs. My previous body fat estimate was around 17% (height: 5’8). Does it seem like I have lost any body fat? I’m also slowly fixing my posture via physical therapy so the newer pics should have a slightly better posture than the old ones.

Pics in mybodyspace titled appropriately. Also, should I continue cutting till I get rid of more fat, like say to 135?

Hi guys,
I’m back for you support.
I want to end my cutting but I’d like to know from you:
1- my body fat %
2- I want to slow bulk but I see that even eating a little bit more than the last months it seems I get only fat and really fast. Why that? Know I stop losing weight too so I don’t know how to procede.
Thanks as always

I'd say 17%BF and in need of muscle. Keep bulking, aka eat the same calories, increase workload when possible.

About 16%BF.

It is because you add more calories than you need OR account for. No matter which, try being sensible when bulking and increase by ≈300 and stick to that until you actually NEED to increase calories. 'Need' means "I can't lift this ****ton of weight even if my life depended on it unless I eat more food".

I'd say 15%. You could just be bulking too aggressively. It could also be that you're bloated from the additional calories/carbs, which can through you off when you first start bulking.
